Madeleine Delbrel, who died Oct 13 1964, is one of the great spiritual teachers of the twentieth century—like Dorothy Day, a true saint for our time. She embodied the spirit of @Pontifex’s Fratelli Tutti—a life of encounter, solidarity, mercy, and “ordinary” holiness.
Madeleine Delbrel (d 10/13/1964), daughter of a French railroad worker, underwent a deep conversion at 24 and dedicated her life to God--not as a nun, but in the world, in solidarity with the "ordinary people of the streets... This street, this world...is our place of holiness."
